This is a delicious dose of Vitamin C in a tart shell! My co-workers liked this a lot and I was really pleased with the combo of fresh citrus and well, lotsa butter and eggs! Caroline said it was like eating an orange creamsicle! :)

This tart is just plain gorgeous. The colors are stunning, as is your presentation. Plus, even though it's a yummy tart, oranges score a "100" on the new nutritional value scales that recently came out (0 being no nutrition, 100 being complete nutrition)!

I'm permanently jealous of your California citrus. You don't have to convince me that it's the best, I already know. Although my carbon footprint is apparently much bigger because I buy California cara cara oranges to eat all of the time. The tart looks just beautiful. I love creamsicles and I bet it tasted fantastic! What a brilliant idea!

What a pretty tart! Yes, the citrus this year is really good (although I'm not sure if the ones I buy are from FL or CA - sadly citrus doesn't grow in KY). I just discovered the Cara Cara and they are my current favorite.

I had my first blood orange on a trip to Phoenix to visit a friend. We picked it off a tree in her backyard. They are amazing. This tart looks fabulous. Your pictures are fantastic. I love your site. I am definitely putting a link to it from mine.

i use martha stewart's pastry cream recipe and it works every time. it calls for half a vanilla bean but i find adding a teaspoon or so of "good" vanilla extract makes it extra delicious! i love me some ina but martha don't mess.

@Susana Sectioning a clementine isn't something I would do regularly...it is a pain! :) I just used a paring knife to carefully section eat little piece from the clementine, just like the rest of the citrus. There was a lot of waste, and I only did it for this little project. - mary
